Assignment task: Review the following article:
Article: The Status of the 'Marriage Penalty': An Update from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act By Allen J. Rubenfield
Q1. Based on your reading of the article, discuss whether you agree or disagree with one of the alternatives offered to address the issue.
Specifically, do you agree that Congress should institute a single filing status for all taxpayers?
Q2. Discuss whether you believe that Congress should act to prevent couples from avoiding the marriage penalty by not getting married.
If you believe that Congress should act to prevent couples from avoiding the marriage penalty by not getting married, thus, reducing their tax liability-essentially via a loophole in the law-then what do you recommend Congress do?
If you do not agree that Congress should address the issue, then tell us why.
